The Standards of Learning (SOL) for Virginia Public Schools establish minimum expectations for what students should know and be able to demonstrate at the end of each grade or course in English, mathematics, science, history/social science, technology, the fine arts, foreign language, health/physical education and driver education. SOL ensure that students across the state are taught the same content at nearly the same time. Cumulative, annual assessments – SOL tests and alternative assessments – provide information on individual student achievement. For additional information on testing, accommodations, or score reports please contact your school's School Test Coordinator.

Parents/Guardians can find assessment resources on VDOE's webpage HERE.

Parents/Guardians can also access a Student Detail By Question (SDBQ) Overview Document HERE. SDBQ reports are provided to parents for SOL tests and the Virginia Growth Assessment through ParentVUE, in the Documents tab. 

SOL scaled scores are usually posted Monday-Friday in ParentVUE within 24-48 hours of the student's completion of the test.

When are scores/reports available?

Parents can access the 'Documents' portion of ParentVUE to view their child's SOL Student Detail By Question Report usually within 2 weeks of the closure of the division's test window. VAAP Reports are posted in ParentVUE at the conclusion of the state audit, usually in early August.

The SOL tests contain multiple-choice, drag and drop, single response, and a variety of other test items types. The SOL tests are untimed and students are permitted to work until the end of the school day.  

Spring Writing SOL Test Administration: March 4-22, 2024.

Spring Non-Writing SOL Test Administration: May 6-31, 2024 with expedited retakes offered through the last day of school.

Please contact your student's school for their selected test window within the division's window.
